    Hi all....I have a candlestick....silver....that I can't find information on the Hallmarks..... the hallmarks I'll post, but don't really want to post the candlestick unless you can tell me how to keep the image off of GOOGLE!!!!! The base is I believe Repousse (?), about a 1" thick hollow "plain" twist going up to the top....the whole thing is 6 inches tall....with the ornate base 4 5/8" across. Here are the only markings I could find! I originally thought my Mom had had them made, as she had some LARGE brass (I think) VERY early ones and wanted some "miniature" ones, but since looking and finding the hallmarks, I now believe them to be old......ANY help available????? If I do find a similar image on Google, I will post, but I DO get PARANOID!!!!!!

    Well, actually Cheryl, you're the one who nailed it, so thank you so much!!!!! Mom had me polishing SO MUCH silver over the years that I came to dislike much of it......and whatever she had, went with her estate sale.......however this nice little pair I absolutely love.....and kept!!!!
